-Age reversal-You know how the mice is made younger? Well, by 2075 this is probably used in humans with success.
-Fusion rockets. I think fusion will be powering our cities by 2032 and some space agency like China will decide to go to mars with a fusion rocket.
-Holographic displays...We find a way. Basic wall like 3-d like displays. But enough where we start moving away from the ar glasses for basic home entertainment by 2075.
-Flying cars based on drone tech become popular that can drive on any street. By 2050 they were only owned by the super rich and were only capable of taking off at airports mainly. By 2075 there's a few million of them and there is infrastructure to take off on our freeways. They're also much more like flying cars then small airplanes by this time.
-Android wives become a serious choice in 2075. Along with robotics in general becoming scifi like as they can interact just like normal wives and normal humans in many ways.
-Robotics is taking over general production. The concept of work is changing to one that is done by robotics.
-Womb transplants become a choice for young men. I doubt it is developed by 2050 but 2075 is much more possible.
-Basic human anti-aging is becoming a choice that is easily bought by the little guy. This pill or vaccine can extend life by about 20-30 years. 2050 such was nearly impossible and was only on the market for the super rich.

Emphasis on the word "might":

-Ageing therapies robust enough to halt ageing together, or slow it effectively enough that living 100+ years in better health becomes the expectation.

-Fully immersive virtual reality. I think achieving this in 50 years is feasible.

-Commercial space travel that is affordable for most people - or at least for a significant proportion.

-Highly advanced, reasonably affordable prosthetic limbs and organs.

My hopes probably color all of these - 2075 would put me firmly into old age but most likely still alive. If you were asking the question for 2085 or 2090, there's a high chance I'm dead assuming our current lifespans & healthspans.
I'm just a bird who escapes his cage to post here sometimes.
